Our daughter, fearless and defiant
Today was our daughter’s first day at pre-school. I had to leave for work before the bus came to pick her up (so I’m afraid I don’t have any pictures to commemorate the occasion), but she apparently got on the bus with no hesitation. That came as a surprise to me, because she’s never rode a bus by herself before. How quickly they grow up and become independent, huh? I expected this to happen someday, but not at age 3.
In other news
It seems that we are expecting again. Yuko went to a clinic on Monday and confirmed what we had been expecting for a while now: She’s two months pregnant. Time to start thinking of baby names...got any suggestions?
Reika adamantly defies the notion that another child is on the way. She gets really angry and yells, “There is NO baby in Mommy’s belly, you got that?!”
Dearest Sako, she sounds very much like you.\r
\r
Dearest Yuko, Thank you. Happiest maternity wishes. \r
\r
Dearest Reika, I will be calling soon for a full report on your school doings. Be good to Mommy. Those new babies can be a lot of fun. Love, Grandma Jamie
Hello,\r
\r
Congratulations on your daughter’s pre-school first day. It is indeed a momemtous occasion.\r
I still remember the day my own daughter left for her first bus ride to her pre-school just outside of sapporo.\r
\r
In the coming days and weeks, trust your wife’s opinions more than your own. After all, she has been to a Japanese pre-school and you haven’t.\r
\r
Best of luck to all 3 (4?) of you.\r
\r

Sako congratulations on the coming attraction! As for names, Bob is a really great boy’s name
\r

Actually I can’t think of any of the serious names that I had in my list of things to name a child if I had it, but hentaro was in the list of strange ones if that helps.
omedetou on both counts!\r
\r
ps bob is a terrible name - go for something with class… :p
sako,\r
a belated congratulations on the news of the new youngin’! and of course, I wish your daughter well as she starts her educational journey.\r
\r
as for names, heh, I’ve got some finalists that didn’t make the cut for Kaika, but then again you wouldn’t want runners-up would you, and besides, I might need them again one of these days!
